download free "Gulag Archipelago" by Aleandar Solzhenitsyn, a Russian officer who spent time in the Russian gulags. Also freely available is Danzig Baldaev - Drawings from the Gulag - 2005 What is odd about this post is that it was processed in red china well known for similar prison systems and "political prisoner" abuses. Perhaps from the willfull dumb down of people to history repeating self happening to them on a world wide scale to what is happening to them? America does abuses too in places like 'gitmo'& Veterans Affairs dept, discreetly of course; names do not matter America calls them "drug war crimes' & other; torture and gulags are the same regardless of names. The topic has many books, essays and such by many authors; Solzhenitsyn went through it as a Russian officer Stalin turned against- same old shit different person. Archipelago is in 3 volumes free for download. Many people suffered and died getting it to the Western world- I refrain from writing Free world for it is not free, really. Canada, Japan, and more countries than I can list are free; America only boasts of such liberty because people can freely shop at Walmart. It used to be attention 'K-Mart' shoppers until Walmart took over.
